Assemble Job Seeker Forms

RETURN TO PRIOR STEP: Determine Requisition Approvals

KEY TOPICS:

  • About Form Templates
  • Add Internal and/or External Forms to a Requisition (by Internal and/or External pathways)

NEXT STEP:

Associate Forms with the Requisition for Completion by Job Seekers

Add Internal and/or External Forms to a Requisition (by Internal and/or External pathways)

The fourth step of adding a new Requisition is to associate an APPLICATION (and perhaps, other Forms) with the Requisition. Select Forms from the side navigation menu as you Add a New Requisition. On the resulting screen, a menu of Forms will be available for selection in the left-hand column, under the Form Templates header, organized by type.

Simply drag and drop the desired Form Template into one of two columns to the right:

  • Internal
  • External

Note: If a Requisition Template was applied during new Requisition Setup, the appropriate Forms will already be included.

Quick Tips:

  • For clients with several Form Templates by type in the left-hand column, expand and collapse arrows in the bar for each Form type allow you to see or hide Forms, respectively.
  • If the Internal and External Forms should match, check the box under the Internal column header for: Use Same Process.

About Form Templates

To support Requisition development, a set of Form Templates (e.g., PRESCREENER, NON-EXEMPT APPLICATION, SELF-ID) has been stored in the system during Implementation. Form Templates represent the library of blank Forms, from which one or more may be selected for inclusion in the Requisition when it is being created. These templates are later maintained (and edited, if necessary) by your organization's balanceTRAK Administrator.

Note: Once a Requisition is live and the StatusRequisition is Open/Accepting Applications, access to Add or Edit a Form may be disabled. Contact your organization's balanceTRAK Administrator for more information.

Cross-reference: If you are an Administrator, see: Client Settings / Job Seekers / Set Form Permissions.

Icons —

The Forms table displays the following icons:

  • PDF — View a PDF version of the Form in a new window
  • Edit Form — Modify an existing Form, and make form changes
  • Delete — Remove a Form. (And click [OK] to confirm the deletion.)
  • Add Scoring Scheme — Create a Scoring Scheme that will assign values to applicant responses
  • % Edit Scoring Scheme — Edit an existing Scoring Scheme

NOT SURE ABOUT SCORING SCHEME

Note: Regular users may be limited to selecting an existing Scoring Scheme from the provided menu and applying it to the current Requisition.

(Optional) If a Scoring Scheme was previously added for the Template Type, select it from the Select Scoring Scheme drop-down (or it may be added later, as described below at: Forms Menu Icons).

Cross-reference: Administrative users may create a Scoring Scheme for the Requisition; see: Scoring Schemes / Create Scoring Scheme — Within a Requisition.

(Required) Each Requisition must be associated with a PRESCREENER or an APPLICATION. To use a PRESCREENER or APPLICATION on the Job Posting page (or change the linkage), check the box for: Use on Job Posting page.

Assign Separate Forms for Internal and External Applicants

First, make sure the Forms you wish to use have been added to the Requisition (see, above: Add a Form to a Requisition).

From the Forms table header, select the [Edit] button. The Job Posting Form window displays. Check the box: Use separate forms for internal and external job seekers. The window will expand, displaying two columns, Internal and External. Using the provided radio buttons, match the appropriate Form to each column.

Then, to enter (or review/edit) the: Message to Show Internal/External Job Seekers. This Employee Status message, which will appear after the Job Seeker clicks Apply on the Job Posting page, will route the Job Seeker to the appropriate Form. Click [Save].

Note: Enter the message in question format, so that an answer of “Yes" will indicate the Job Seeker is internal, and an answer of “No" will indicate the Job Seeker is an external candidate.

Set the Default APPLICATION

(For employers using supplemental APPLICATIONS)

Because balanceTRAK associates the most recently completed APPLICATION with a Job Seeker, the system needs to know which one of the multiple APPLICATIONS is the default.

Click the [Default Application] button, which is found in the Forms menu header. From the display form Names, select the appropriate APPLICATION. You may also select the option to: Use the system default behavior for choosing the latest Application. Click [Save].

The selected default APPLICATION will be accessible when you:

  • Review the applicant on the Job Seekers page, using the application Application icon.
  • Comparing Job Seekers, using the [View Job Seekers] button on the Job Seekers page.

If an applicant completes other APPLICATIONS, those will be available in the Job Seeker detail, but will not be associated with the above processes.
